    WHAT IS LASER TAG?

    Laser tag is a team or individual sport or recreational activity. It is an interactive game that is played in a dark arena with black lights and a futuristic atmosphere, giving you the impression of playing in a live video game. It is similar in principle to a video game but far more interactive. Played in a dark laser tag arena with black lights and a futuristic atmosphere, the object of laser tag is to score points by tagging targets and/or opponents with a hand held phaser that emits infrared lasers – all while defending your base from your opponents. Vests, that are equipped with sensors that detect when tagged, are worn by each player, and because no physical projectiles are launched, laser tag is painless, as well as a blast to play.

    Enter SKYTAG’s laser tag arena with our state-of-the-art gear and you’ll feel like you’re in video game, avoiding obstacles, protecting your base and accumulating points to earn your laser tag victory. The keys to winning at laser tag are teamwork and strategy. So, whether you choose to play with your friends or join a laser tag game with a new group of people, you’ll test your skills while having the time of your life.

    Who can play Laser Tag

    Although laser tag is for almost everyone, SKYTAG recommends that laser tag players be age seven (7) and over and at least 3.5 ft. tall in order to play.

    Avoid playing Laser Tag if you suffer from the following: Asthma, epilepsy or suffer from seizures caused by fog or strobe lights.

    How long does a laser tag session last?

    A laser tag session lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. This includes a period of registration, briefing and vesting followed by the play time in the laser tag arena (4 games of 6 minutes each). A new laser tag session commences every ½ hour.

    Laser Tag – the ideal team building activity

    While it is possible to play laser tag and have fun without teamwork, teams that work together toward their mutual goal have the highest chance of winning a laser tag match, just as they have the highest chance of success on the job. Laser tag provides a fun activity for corporate groups to destress, while encouraging team strategy and collaboration. Teams learn to use communication, as a team, to defeat their opponents and achieve victory. Reinforce the bonds of your team with laser tag - the ideal team building activity that will leave your team exhilarated!

    THE HISTORY OF LASER TAG

    Laser tag originates from a system that was deployed in the late 1970s and early ‘80s by the US army for combat training. The MILES (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System) functions much like laser tag in that beams are fired into receivers that score hits.

    The first known toy to use infrared light and a corresponding sensor was manufactured and marketed in 1979 as the Star Trek Electronic Phaser Guns set, the laser tag phaser’s.

    In 1982 George Carter III began the process of designing an arena-based system for playing a scored version of laser tag. The idea came to in 1977 while watching the film Star Wars Episode IV.

    The Grand Opening of the first laser tag arena, the Photon center in Dallas, Texas was on March 28, 1984. Carter was recognized by the International Laser Tag Association for being the Inventor and Founder of the laser tag industry.

    Lee Weinstein developed and opened the first commercial laser tag arena (facility), "Star Laser Force", on April 16, 1985.

    The first Photon toys hit the market in 1986, nearly simultaneously with the Laser Tag toys from Worlds of Wonder and several other similar infrared and visible light-based toys.

    Laser tag arenas all over the world are using infrared phaser technology.

    The Fifth Zone Worlds Laser Tag Championships will be hosted in Belfort, France.
